ABSTRACT:
An implantable drug pump and an access template for locating the implanted pump refill septum, also known as a refill port, or cathether access port are disclosed. The access template comprises a denial surface, an access port, and template labeling. The denial surface has a periphery with a location diameter and an alignment feature. The denial surface is configured to prevent penetration through a dermal layer into the implantable drug pump. The access port carried on the denial surface is configured to permit penetration through the dermal layer. The template labeling uses a label color that is substantially the same color as needle labeling color for a needle sheath covering a needle that is intended to access an implantable drug pump. The access template can be configured into a wide variety of apparatus and method embodiments.
